Alt Appreciation Week Eight - Rogue Week

Lae from World of Lae has
come up with awesome idea of celebrating all of the classes in World
of Warcraft one by one, each week! You can find out more about it and a
list of participants in this thread.

Rogue Week

If you've been following the Alt Appreciation series you'll know that I love alts I have multiples of the same class three Druids, four Paladins etc but I have only one Rogue and I'll only ever have one Rogue. Not because she's special to me, not because she's important to me but because I loathe the class!

When it comes down to my love of classes I take a few things into account. Can they tank? Can they heal? Can they DPS from range? Most classes cover at least one, sometimes two of these. Rogues cover none. I hate playing Retribution but that's Ok because Paladins can both tank and heal.

I created my Rogue during Wrath to help my Priest get her Insane title by farming lock boxes for Ravenholdt reputation. Afterwards I spent a little bit of time with a friend and got her to level 83 where she'll remain until I inevitably delete her. I just detest melee DPS and that's all a Rogue can do. Boo hiss!

That poor girl, sent out to pasture! Playing only melee classes, I have the opposite opinion for ranged classes. I just can't get it into my head -not- to run at my enemies, weapons glinting furiously. Though, I have dabbled in the ranged arts. Perhaps your rogue should get to level 85 and lock herself? I've found that being able to run the Cataclysm instances to be a treat that only a locked character can enjoy. And it gives you a chance to try out playing melee without the need to push to whatever level cap is upcoming. :p

I think that's perhaps my first hatred of playing the Rogue, my first character was a Warrior it was all about charging in! With Rogue I hate having to be all slow and stealthy! Just get in there and hit them in the face!
